Welcome!

Welcome to my bLoG! Lots of random ramblings will happen here, mostly about crafting. I love stamping, die cuts, playing with copics, embellishments galore, ribbon, buttons, brads....on and on. I'm passionate about greeting cards. When was the last time you opened your mailbox and what was inside made you smile? Humm............

Well, lets play!

Oh happy mail.....how fun is it to get a little something special in the mail box........a friend of mine told me that her grandma would put a quarter in her letter so there would be a little weight and something fun inside. How sweet is that?!?

This is my submission to the TiddlyInks "wings" challenge......this is one of their digi stamps called "Happy Mail"

I am submitting this little number for the Paper Smooches SPARKS blog challenge. I think it will make the perfect valentine for one of my nephews....a little non trad in color for a valentine, but that makes it OWL the more awesome! Check out the challenge at SPARKS

I used an owl from chubby chums, the 'love' is a freebie on their blog, and the 'you' is also from chubby chums (i cut it off from you're purrrrrrrrfect LOL!)

Yup, it's been a long time! I decided to participate with a card drive called "Cards from the Heart Card Drive". It's a Valentine card drive for kids in hospitals, foster homes, and special ed classes. Last year they collected 3000 cards to send out to the kiddos...cool, huh?!? So here is my first one I made today, from the Purple Onion Designs stamp company......cute little guy, isn't he!?!
